Yeah, but if you have some ebay headlamps the light will go everywhere, blinding people, and the cut off will be terrible. Retro is the only way worth going.

Yes you can and I'm assuming you are refering to HID kits intead of retrofits. If you are buying the kits, then you have to make sure the bulbsfor your headlight are the same. For example, integras bulb # for low beams are #9006. So if I want HID kits in there, I have to make sure the bulbs are 9006. I don't know about the RSX, but in general, majority of after market halo projectors are not that good with hid. I might be wrong though. Just buy the HID kits and forget the halo projectors to save yourself money. The quality and lumination of the HID will probably not be that much differences compare to stock and halo projectors headlights.

Yes! It looks great! My RSX came with black proejctor headlights (2003 RSX) and I thought they looked cool so I kept them on. Kinda looks like the newer 06 RSX. Anyway, I got a set on ebay for $130 shipped and installed them... 12000k lighting and they look AWESOME. They look like the expensive ones and I got them cheap because there was no brand on them. The light isn't "everywhere" and perhaps was the best turnout with ebay HID kits i've ever bought. Definitely worth it. I needed it cuz i'm practically blind at night when it rains.
